Bio

Abigail Levine is a dance and performance artist from New York. Her works bring together the rigors and resources of dance's bodily specificity with performance art's experiments with time and human action. She has created works for galleries, theaters, and diverse public spaces. Levine is currently designing a choreographed execution of a Sol LeWitt Wall Drawing, part of a larger exploration of what dance may produce and leave behind.

Levine's works have been shown in the US, Canada, Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico, Brazil, and Taiwan, recently at venues including the Movement Research Festival, Mount Tremper Arts Festival, Center for Performance Research, Art in Odd Places, Trinosophes/ Detroit, Movement Research at the Judson Church, Foro Performática (Mexico), Taipei Fringe, Hemispheric Institute Encuentro (Brazil), and SESC São Paulo. She has recently performed in the work of Marina Abramović at the New York MoMA, Carolee Schneemann, Clarinda Mac Low, Larissa Velez, and Mark Dendy. Abigail has lectured and taught at universities in the US and abroad and published articles on dance, reperformance, performance and place, and Cuban contemporary dance. She is currently co-editor of Movement Research's Critical Correspondence and holds a BA in Literature and Dance from Wesleyan University and a Masters in Dance and Performance Studies from New York University.
